10's for the MKVI Golf at over 130 miles per hour. That is moving and a very respectable result for a front wheel drive car. The MKVI Golf in question has the APR Stage 3+ kit with a GT3071 turbocharger. This includes an upgraded intercooler, APR HPFP (high pressure fuel pump), APR RSC exhaust, APR pistons, and APR rods. The DSG transmission receives upgraded clutch packs that function thanks to Harding Performance DSG software.

All of this results in a 10.914 @ 133.13 in the 1/4 mile despite the 1.914 60 foot. A front wheel drive car is difficult to launch yet the car still ran 10's with a 1.9X, impressive.

honestly, North America got $#@!ED with our bull$#@! laser welded HPFP. 133 out of this engine is pretty awesome.

Would love to see this car get a better 60', think it could run a bit deeper in the 10s given the DSG and that trap. I know the GLI posted on here a few times ran a 10.997@129.83 with a 1.704 60' and a manual transmission. Granted the gearing on the two are a bit different.

The NA HPFP is laser welded shut, you are unable to open them to upgrade them or service them. The ROW applications do not have this restriction.

i know a lot of platforms face DI fueling restrictions but APR is usually pretty quick to solve them. They may be doing an intake manifold with port injection and an external controller to get around the NA fueling

It could be because of how the HPFP fires and the ECU is set up. I know the ROW won't work on our engines unless you basically swap the engine and ECU. I know the TTRS pump (which is used on the ROW) will not work either.

I've been through countless threads and topics on this on TSI forums and i don't think i ever seen an explanation as to why our HPFP hasn't been upgraded other than it being laser welded shut and that it supplies enough fuel for 500whp+ on race gas and/or meth injection.

At this point in time APR is the big hardware supplier for the TSI. sure everyone and their mother has Intercoolers, Downpipes, and intakes but no one has a tried and true tested BT kit other than CTS (though as you can see numbers for those kits are not pouring out like APR kits). On the TSI forums, it seems like the majority of people running the CTS kits are overseas and they don't have the HPFP woes like the NA market does. So now it falls down to APR, and since their Stage 3+ kit doesn't max out fuel, they just don't have a huge reason to release a new HPFP. Unlike on the TTRS and FSI platforms where the HPFP was maxed out before ever upgrading the turbo (for instance on the FSI to go Stage 2 on the stock turbo you need a new HPFP)

at this point, there are not many people clamoring for more than 500whp on a FWD car. I only know of a handful that are coming close to maxing out turbos and running out of fuel before supplementing with meth.

Just put in a GLI trans with his old LSD and strengthened shift forks (The GLI has a bit taller gearing). In the spring he is going with SQS and changing the ratio a bit. He's also working on getting smaller wheels and wider rubber (going over 9" on our cars is not an easy task). Once that's taken care of he'll work on maxing out the 5858 then is moving to a PTE6262. He works closely with Unitronic for tuning. I'm sure between Uni and FFE they may come up with a fueling solution other than flowing a 2000cc/m of meth.
